Outstanding convertible very well cared for over many years.  Body is laser straight, paint excellent, interior superb.  All original with 1 exterior repaint many years ago.  Less than 80,000 actual miles. 

Paint:  excellent with very few flaws.  Body panels are not only straight, but all body lines are at factory settings and doors, trunk and hood all open and close like a brand new car.

Interior:  Unbelievably well preserved all original interior.  All seams, accents, and vinyl and plastic parts are like new.  Vinyl is supple.  Dash is not cracked or warped.  Carpet is excellent but is faded in a few areas.   Dye it and it will look like new.  There is no musty smell. 

Engine:  Runs excellent.  Does not knock, miss or burn any oil.  Drive anywhere in confidence.  I took it on a 2,000 plus mile vacation with no issues.  Currently has an exhaust manifold leak.

Top:  Completely serviceable but has some dark staining starting to show.  Another item that can be dyed and it will look like new.  Has perfect glass rear window.  Top boot is original, fits perfectly and is also still in excellent condition.  Top is aligned correctly and goes up and down fast.

Misc:  Tires are excellent, maybe 90% of tread left.  Whitewalls.  Factory spinner hubcaps are excellent. Stainless skirts are like new.  I added aftermarket cruise control & it works like it should. AM radio works fine, as do wipers and all other accessories except clock.  Glass is all excellent.  Although I have owned this car for about 12 years or so, I have never waxed it and never armoralled the vinyl.  I just keep it clean and dry.

Rust:  None except surface rust on a few underside areas where there is no undercoating.

I looked for a top-tier 65 Galaxie 500 XL for years before I bought this one and it has not disappointed me.  It will not disappoint you either.  Call Mike 719-660-5504 for any additional details.

As always, no warranty is expressed or implied.  International bidders welcome.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  I will make car available for pickup.

I will be happy to provide any additional photos you might want.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
